When I was growing up, there was not a holiday that I looked forward to more than Halloween. Not only did I love thinking up a great costume and getting free candy but I always really enjoyed the Halloween route planning sessions the night before.

Every Halloween I’d go to one of my friends places (as they had a better neighborhood) and we’d map out the houses and areas we would hit up during the night. After years of experience, we knew the houses that gave the “good”…

One of the biggest trends in recruiting today is the development of Talent Networks. Here’s how I define a Talent Network (definitely feel to add your definition in the comments):

A Talent Network is a community of candidates that a recruiting organization builds organically through opt-in and sourcing and most importantly, engages with (via social media, email, SMS) to drive qualified candidates & hires into their recruiting…

It’s that time of the year. The weather is getting colder, the leaves are changing and carved pumpkins are standing in front of many homes. It’s officially Fall and we all know what that means: College Recruiting!

It is at this time every year that companies flock to the best colleges & universities across the US and try to find the best (cheap?) talent they can find on the college recruiting circuit. Today is the day to make sure everything is ready for those college…

No matter if you are receiving too many applicants or receiving too few, there is always value in looking on how you can maximize the performance of your recruitment marketing campaigns.

Whether it’s increasing your ability to collect recruiting contacts through opt-in or creating a better recruitment marketing mix of recruiting channels, there are plenty of opportunities to set up processes…

You receive a new job requisition. You post the job to numerous channels, sort through candidate resumes that come into your ATS, set up interviews and hopefully find a candidate that you hire. Rinse and repeat.

With new job requisitions coming up every day and some that drag on without finding the right candidate, it can be easy to lose yourself in the day to day and focus less on the big picture. It’s what I like to refer as “recruiting with blinders…

Building your Talent Network isn’t just about getting as many recruiting contacts into your database as possible. The focus instead needs to be in getting as many interested AND qualified candidates as possible into your Talent Network. Cause let’s face it, your Talent Network is only as valuable as the candidates in it.

Building your Talent Network isn’t just about getting as many recruiting contacts into your database as possible. Instead it needs to be in getting as many interested AND qualified candidates as possible into your Talent Network. But to do that you first need to quickly fill your Talent Network with candidates that you can qualify. This is where the Talent Network building process begins.

As recruiting becomes more and more competitive across industries, it's becoming more important than ever to begin capturing qualified candidates and building your Talent Network. Having your own Talent Network can help your organization improve your recruiting results and provides the following potential benefits:

Fill positions faster: Once you have a Talent Network in place, you should be able to fill some of your positions utilizing these candidates. Once…

I talk with a good number of recruiting organizations about their recruiting goals and on several occasions I’ve asked the question “what are your main goals for a recruiting campaign?”. The answer is almost always straightforward: “to make a quality hire.”

You can’t argue with that. If getting quality people into your organization is not a priority, then you have more problems in your organization than just recruiting. But when you are looking at the main…

Every so often on this blog I like to highlight some of the companies that we work with that are doing some interesting things in their recruiting. I highlight these companies as they are leveraging data and Talent Networks to drive innovation in their recruitment marketing strategies in a way that I believe can help other organizations potentially improve their recruiting processes.

Here are a few examples of companies that are utilizing their internal…

When you are building your Talent Network it is important to understand what types of recruiting contacts should be part of your Network. Recruiting contacts can include those collected in dual purpose job ads, through sourcing campaigns, applicants that enter your ATS, social recruiting followers and most importantly your current employees. One group of recruiting contacts that is forgotten and outright dismissed by organizations is your past employees.
